This is a political forum that is non-biased/non-partisan and treats every persons position on topics equally. This debate forum is not aligned to any political party. In today's politics, many ideas are split between and even within all the political parties. Often we find ourselves agreeing on one platform but some topics break our mold. We are here to discuss them in a civil political debate. If this is your first visit to our political forums, be sure to check out the FAQ and RULES.

I have left it, and am but one of many Paleoconservative voices lost in the wilderness, our party having been taken over by kooks who are bat**** insane. Between moves like the one in Wisconsin, birthers, deathers, Tea Partiers who don’t realize that their ideology has been hijacked by the Koch Brothers and other representatives of corporate greed, and, generally, people with no knowledge of the kinds of abuses perpetrated on workers in the 1890′s, but are eager to bring back child labor (slavery?), company stores, and starvation diets, in order to put an extra buck in their own pockets, I am aghast. As Edward Murrow would say, “Do these people have no shame? Have they no shame at all?”. I am sickened by what these ersatz purveyors of an ersatz democracy want to bring back to America. What today’s Republicans are bringing to America is not American at all. It is more like the Soviet Union. Our founding fathers are rolling in their graves. You and I don’t agree on a lot, but what you have posted here I can agree with you on. Much of the rest we can agree to disagree, but we have found common ground on something. The ability of people of different ideologies to find common ground is one of the reasons America is the greatest nation in the world.

The loudmouths are now having their day. Let them relish in it for the short time they can. With the neo-Republican agenda in Wisconsin now exposed, reasonable persons are now able to look past the rhetoric, and see what kinds of anti-American thugs these people really are. Once America has been taken back (This time by real people, who are the majority), these fools can move to a nation which can cater better to their own desires – Iran.
